| Abstract | Pyrolytic carbon black (CBp) is a solid by-product of tyre pyrolysis that contains various contaminants from the tyre additives. These contaminants limit the use of CBp as a carbon source for energy storage applications such as supercapacitors. This study aims to improve the physicochemical, morphological, and electrochemical properties of CBp by applying different chemical treatments and activation methods. The chemical treatments include acid (HCl), base (NaOH), acid-base (HCl/NaOH), and desulphurization (NaOH in xylene) processes to remove impurities such as sulphur, zinc, and silicon. The treated CBp samples are then activated by KOH impregnation technique to increase the surface area and porosity. The characterizations of the treated CBp samples are performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Brunner Emmett Teller (BET). The electrochemical performance of the treated CBp samples are evaluated using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the chemical treatments significantly reduce the impurity levels and enhance the electrochemical performance of CBp. The desulphurized CBp sample exhibits the highest specific capacitance of 218 F/g among the treated CBp samples. The findings of this study suggest that CBp can be effectively utilized as a potential carbon source for supercapacitor electrodes by applying suitable chemical treatments and activation methods. This will create a circular economy to valorize CBp. |
